I&#x27;d be much more interested if it was a mobile app.<p>I already have native git client and text writing application on my desktop, I don&#x27;t need a web page trying to replace both. However, a simple to use mobile client with first-class git workflow support is missing.

The number one priority in a notes syncing app for me is E2E encryption[1]. Even with a private git repo, you&#x27;re still most likely storing your plaintext notes on a third-party server. I wish there were more options satisfying this requirement.<p>[1] Even if you currently have no &quot;out of line&quot; ideas, it&#x27;s very damaging to creativity to let a medium requiring self-censorship become a part of your thought process, as notes can be. The default for notes should be as private as possible.

If folks want to use a GitHub repo for note taking, you can also try GitHub.dev, which gives you the power of VS Code, to edit repos entirely from the browser. Since VS Code has a prolific ecosystem, you can enhance and augment your note taking workflow via extensions (themes, keybinding, productivity enhancements, etc.), which makes it a pretty nice experience: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;lostintangent&#x2F;status&#x2F;1429483662257446916?s=21" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;lostintangent&#x2F;status&#x2F;1429483662257446916...</a>.

<i>&gt; What if I cancel my subscription?<p>&gt; [...] You will no longer be able to access our suite of apps.</i><p>The try button seems to take you to a working version of the app, is the intention to make this paid at some point later?<p>I don&#x27;t mind paying but I object to those applications that make it appear like they&#x27;re free and then once you&#x27;ve started using them ask you for payment on the basis you were only on a &quot;premium trial&quot; when you start.

This seems very familiar to a bash application I created that follows the zettelkasten note taking method. The source can be found here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;AndrewCopeland&#x2F;zettelkasten" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;AndrewCopeland&#x2F;zettelkasten</a><p>Each note is saved as a markdown file in GitHub and can be searched and linked easily from the zk cli.

&gt; What if I cancel my subscription?<p>I&#x27;m not sure you can charge people for what amounts to a &lt;textarea&gt; that makes a git commit. Seems like you&#x27;re sharing this a bit early, since there&#x27;s only one app despite the FAQ sounding like there&#x27;s a whole ecosystem.

I didn’t get a penny about the project. I know what git is, of course. And I do store my notes in my git repository, in markdown format. I use vim on my Linux machine and Markor on my Android phone. But again: what is this project about?

I use GitJournal on Android for this - it&#x27;s nothing fancy, just let&#x27;s me write markdown notes and store&#x2F;organise&#x2F;search them in a private GitHub repo, but that&#x27;s exactly what I wanted.

I like this idea, though i don&#x27;t like that subfolders are displayed in the folder they are a part of<p>As well as while i like .txt, i can&#x27;t embed images and links and for me that&#x27;s a requirement sadly. Though i like the idea for purely text only note taking<p>A recommendation; I would think that those who this format would work really well for should have the ability to reference an image or video and have that as a &quot;hidden&quot; uploaded item (so that you could choose from the list of items in that folder) and have it referenced from that document

Kinda sorta related, no affiliation just think it&#x27;s cool as well:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dendron.so&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dendron.so&#x2F;</a>

Related software and previously discussed on HN - ZimWiki<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zim-wiki.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zim-wiki.org&#x2F;</a><p>It lets you run a Wiki out of a vault in your drive, which can be moved to a new machine or exported as PDF&#x2F;HTML

I have been using the Joplin (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;joplinapp.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;joplinapp.org&#x2F;</a>) note taking app for a while now. I like it so far. Not stored in git, though.

Joplin is pretty cool, back filling that to git must not be super complicated…

Seems like a simpler version of TiddlyWiki¹, which is free.<p>It might worth a try for those who prefer less features<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tiddlywiki.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tiddlywiki.com&#x2F;</a>

Any reason to use git over a regular file hosting service like Dropbox? It seems it would be more or less equivalent and on top of that you&#x27;ll easily get mobile support.

not a whole lot of info about the note-taking functionality of your app.<p>I&#x27;ve been evangelizing apps like Obsidian, Logseq, and Foam these days because note-taking has been evolving quite a bit with different PKMS methodologies and the whole zettelkasten movement (that&#x27;s a bit of a rabbit hole though).<p>plain text markdown is imo the place to be.

to the maker: UX pet peeve - forms that dont submit when i hit enter. in this case, the &quot;create note&quot; form.
